Malaysia will reintroduce coronavirus restrictions in the country's capital amid a surge in new cases.
The country's authorities said the restrictions will be in place for two weeks, starting Wednesday, for Kuala Lumpur and other areas like the country's administrative district.
This comes at a time when Malaysia is experiencing a wave of new cases, with more than 4,400 confirmed so far this month.
The measures include the closure of all schools in the areas, bans on inter-district travel, and bans on three or more people leaving each household.
The authorities will allow people to go to work as long as they have a permit from their employers, in a bid to ease the impact on the economy.
The country's outbreak was more or less brought under control after the country imposed strict restrictions in March, including the forced closure of businesses.
